Feature Summary

Talent Management

This section is for features that are used across all of the Talent Management products.

Email Notifications Based on Reports

You can now use enhanced email notifications for HCM workflow and approval notifications. Use standard Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Publisher templates to generate mobile friendly email notifications. You can customize the delivered templates to display information based on your business requirements and policies. You configure profile options to enable your customized report templates to take the place of the delivered notifications.

Email notifications are available for the following business processes:

• Career development
• Goal management
• Performance management
• Profile management
• Talent review

To customize the report templates, you download the templates from the BI Publisher server and use Microsoft Word to edit them. You upload the edited templates back to the BI Publisher server. The table shows the templates that are available for each business process, and the data models associated with each.

Business Process	Templates (Data Models)
Career Development	CareerDevelopmentApprovalFYIReport (CareerDevelopmentApprovalNotificationDM) CareerDevelopmentApprovalReport (CareerDevelopmentApprovalNotificationDM) CareerDevelopmentFYINotification (CareerDevelopmentFyiDM)
Goal Management	PerformanceGoalApprovalNotificationsReport (PerformanceGoalApprovalNotificationsDM) PerformanceGoalNotificationsReport (PerformanceGoalNotificationsDM)
Performance Management	PerformanceApprovalNotificationsReport (PerformanceApprovalDM) PerformanceFyiNotificationsReport (PerformanceFYIDM)
Profile Management	ProfileChangeNotificationReport (ProfileChangeNotification) ProfilesApprovalNotificationFYIReport (ProfilesApprovalNotificationDM) ProfilesApprovalNotificationReport (ProfilesApprovalNotificationDM)
Talent Review	TalentCalibFYIReport (TalentCalibFYIDM)

To specify the usage of BI Publisher reports rather than the default notifications, configure profile options using the Manage Administrator Profile Values task in the Setup and Maintenance work area. The table shows the profile option codes that determine which business processes use BI Publisher templates for notifications, and the order the application checks to apply them. 

Business Processes	Profile Option Code	Profile Option Display Name	Effect
All Talent Management	BIP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_HCM_TALENT	BI Publisher Notifications Enabled for Talent Management	The application first checks this setting. If set to true, all Talent Management business processes that can use BI Publisher reports for workflow notifications use them.
All HCM	BIP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_HCM	BIP E-MAIL NOTIFICATION PER FAMILY LEVEL	The application checks this setting next. If set to true, all HCM business processes that can use BI Publisher reports for workflow notifications use them.
All Oracle Fusion	BIP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION	BIP EMAIL NOTIFICATION PER ORACLE FUSION LEVEL	Lastly, the application checks this setting. If set to true, all Oracle Fusion business processes, including those in HCM, that can use BI Publisher reports for workflow notifications use them.

Steps to Enable

To use BI Publisher notifications, you must perform the following prerequisites:

1. Download and install the Oracle BI Publisher Desktop: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/downloads/index.html.
2. Download and install the Template Builder for Word to use Microsoft Word to edit the layout templates. To download, install, and set up Template Builder for Word, see Setting Up for RTF and Excel Report Layout Templates: Procedure.
3. To preview the configured templates, download a local copy of the subtemplate that applies to your own report layout template:
   1. Sign in to the Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher server with the BI Administrator Role to open the Oracle Business Intelligence Home page.
   2. Click Catalog.
   3. In the BI catalog, go to Shared Folders>Common Content>Templates for the predefined subtemplate, or Shared Folders>Custom Common>Content Templates if you're using a modified custom subtemplate.
   4. Click Edit for Workflow Notification Subtemplate.
   5. In the Templates section, click the link in the Locale column.
   6. Save the subtemplate .rtf file to your computer.

You must also configure the profile options to use BI Publisher for notifications:

1. Click Navigator > Setup and Maintenance.
2. On the Setup page, click the Tasks panel drawer.
3. In the Tasks panel drawer, click Search.
4. In the Search text box, enter Manage Administrator Profile Values and click the Search icon.
5. Click Manage Administrator Profile Values.
6. On the Manage Administrator Profile Values page, in the Profile Option Code field, enter BIP_EMAIL and click Search.
7. In the Search section, select the following to true:

• BIP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_HCM_TALENT: to use BI Publisher notifications for Talent Management only
• BIP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_HCM: to use BI Publisher notifications for all HCM business processes that can use for BI Publisher notifications (currently only Talent Management)
• BIP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION: to use BI Publisher notifications for all Oracle Fusion business processes that can use BI Publisher notifications (currently only Talent Management)

Tips And Considerations

• If you elect to use BI publisher templates for notifications, all notifications use BI publisher templates.
• You can edit the BI Publisher templates to add headers and text.
• You can also add data model attributes to the template if they already exist in the data model used for the template.

• Management of roles of interest to the worker
• Comprehensive development plan for workers to establish development goals and manage development progress

Add Development Goal Action in the Person Smart Navigation Window

HR Specialist and Managers can now add and assign development goals directly from the person smart navigation window. Workers can also use this action to add development goals to their development plan. This action is available based on your role and security privileges.

In the person smart navigation window, select Talent Management and click Add Development Goal.

Add Development Goal Action is Available in the Person Smart Navigation Window

Steps to Enable

No steps are required to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

The Add Development Goal action is available in the smart navigation window only if your role is assigned a person security profile that allows access to the worker’s data and inherits one of the following aggregate privileges:

• Manage Development Goal by HR
• Manage Development Goal by Manager
• Manage Development Goal by Worker

Update Career and Work Preferences in Career Development

A new Career Preferences infotile is now available in the My Career Development work area. You can view or update the career statement, work preferences, and career preferences using this infotile. The updates are recorded centrally to Person Profile.

View or Update the Career Statement and Career and Work Preferences Using the Career Preferences Infotile

Steps to Enable

No steps are required to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• By default, the career statement is displayed when you launch the Career Preferences infotile. You can simplify the user experience by hiding the career statement, as the worker can update the career statement directly from the My Career Development work area.

New Security Privileges for Securing Career Developement

Career Development data and functions are now secured with new aggregate privileges. You can create new roles and provide the View or Manage access to a worker's career development plans.

By default, these new privileges are assigned to the Line Manager, HR Specialist, and Worker roles. If you are using user-defined roles, you must assign the following appropriate privileges:

• Manage Development Goal by HR
• Manage Development Goal by Manager
• Manage Development Goal by Worker
• View Development Goal by HR
• View Development Goal by Manger
• View Development Goal by Worker

Steps to Enable

If you are using seeded roles, there are no steps necessary to enable this feature. If you are using user-defined roles, you must add the appropriate privileges to enable access to Career Development.

User Access to a Worker Development Plan on the Person Spotlight Page

You can access a worker's career development plan  using the Person Spotlight page. To access the Career Development tab on the Person Spotlight page, your role must have a security profile that allows access to the worker's data and must inherit one of the following aggregate privileges:

• Manage Development Goal by HR
• Manage Development Goal by Manager
• Manage Development Goal by Worker
• View Development Goal by HR
• View Development Goal by Manager
• View Development Goal by Worker

Career Development Tab is Available in the Person Spotlight Page

Steps to Enable

No steps are required to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• It is a best practice to implement either Career Development or Career Planning. With the inclusion of Career Development in Person Spotlight, you will see duplicate functionality if both the overlapping features are enabled.

Talent Review

Oracle Fusion Talent Review is an analytic product enabling your organization to review and evaluate data from the profile, performance, goals, and compensation management solutions.

Deep Link Support

You can simplify the navigation for creating succession plans and talent pools by using deep links. With deep links, you can access your tasks from another application. You can use deep links to bypass the Succession Planning Overview page and go directly to the Create Succession Plans page to create succession plans or the Create Talent Pools page to create talent pools.

Use the Deep Link task in the Tools menu in the Navigator to create deep links. As an application implementation consultant, HR specialist, or line manager, you can copy a deep link and paste it in another application. Simply copy the URL from the Deep Links page and use it in your external portals as is.

Meeting ID Parameter Support

You can add the new MEETING_ID parameter to analyses you have added to your talent review meeting dashboard. Using this parameter allows you to run the analysis for your entire review population instead of having to select each individual reviewee in your n-box.

Create the analysis in Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI), and add the MEETING_ID parameter to it, along with any other attributes you need for the analysis. On the Talent Review dashboard, add the analysis to the meeting using Oracle Page Composer. Select the analysis in the Reports and Analytics section of the Talent Review dashboard.

Steps to Enable

No steps are required to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• When you open the analysis, you can view all data that you have security access to view.

Search for Review Population Default Change

Simplify the way you search and add your review population using the new All Reports default for the Worker field. The All Reports view displays a list of all direct and indirect reports of managers. To view the search results hierarchically as in the past with the Direct Reports default, use the Page Composer to show the View as Tree component.

From this release, while creating or editing a talent review meeting, when you use the Search and Add feature to add workers to the review population and opt to view all reports, the search results will be displayed by default in a list view.

Select and Add Workers Search Results - List View

The list view reduces the time to retrieve search results considerably. The search results appear ordered alphabetically by the worker name. You can sort the search results by the manager name by clicking the column header.

To view the search results hierarchically as in the past, use Page Composer to add a toggle button in the Select and Add: Workers window. This will enable you to switch between the list view and tree view. But, if you enable the tree view, retrieving search results may take more time and you may not be able to correctly filter indirect reports. For example, if you want to filter all reports of a business leader to view only those at the Junior Manager Management Level, the indirect reports whose managers are at a different management level will not be displayed.

Perform the following steps to add the toggle button:

1. Sign in to the application as a user with configuration privileges.

2. In the Setting and Actions menu, in the Administration section, select Manage Sandboxes.

3. Create and then activate a sandbox.

4. Go to the Talent Review Overview page.

5. Edit a meeting.

6. Navigate to the Select Review Population page.

7. In the Setting and Actions menu, in the Administration section, select Customize Pages.

8. In the Customize Pages window, select the customization level as Site.

9. Select the View as Source.

10. Click Select and Add.

11. In the Confirm Shared Component Edit dialog box, select the Do not ask next time check box and click Edit.

12. Expand the source, scroll down, and locate the applicationsTable component.

13. Click the applicationsTable component and then click Edit Component.

Component in Source

14. Scroll down in the source window, right-click the commandToolBarButton: View as Tree component and click Show Component.

15. Close Page Composer.

16. Click Select and Add to verify that the View as Tree toggle button is added in the Select and Add: Workers window.

Select and Add: Workers Window with View as Tree Button

17. Publish the sandbox.

Steps to Enable

No steps are required to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• To enhance performance, the search results are restricted to only 500 records. If the search results exceed this limit, a message asking the user to refine the search criteria appears.
• From this release, the direct reports of the business leader are not displayed by default in the Select Review Population and Select Review Participant pages.

Profile Management

Oracle Fusion Profile Management provides a common foundation for the Oracle Fusion talent suite of products and other Oracle Fusion applications to retrieve, insert, and update talent profile information. Profile Management also supports the HR specialists, line managers, matrix managers, and employees in performing critical HR talent functions. Managing people and job profiles, career planning functions, managing, and tracking talent data can be also done through Profile Management.

Person Profile Security Enhancements

You can now enforce security for person profiles by:

• Using Oracle Fusion Applications data security polices to secure content sections within the profile for any predefined or custom roles. This was not changed
• Using view and edit access data security policies for each predefined content section within the profile
• Using the Manage Profile Content Section Access setup task to create data security policies for custom content sections automatically and assigning those privileges to any predefined or custom roles. Assigning privileges for each content section to predefined or custom roles by using the new setup task Manage Profile Content Section Access. By default, only IT Security Managers can perform this setup task

Depending on the data security policies associated with your job or abstract role, you can access content for a person profile. The security policy can be applied to both custom and predefined roles.

IT Security Managers generate data security policies for defining the type of access to the person profile content. After the person security policy is applied to a role, the person profile content is available on the application pages based on your role privileges.

Manage Profile Content Section Access Setup Task

Steps to Enable

To select the content section access privilege for a role:

1. Sign in to the application as an IT security manager.
2. Select Navigator > Setup and Maintenance to open the Setup and Maintenance work area.
3. In the search field on the Setup and Maintenance page, search for the Manage Profile Content Section Access task.
4. From the search results, click Manage Profile Content Section Access. The Manage Profile Content Section Access page opens.
5. In the Content Sections section, search for the custom or predefined content section and click the link to the content section name.
6. In the Roles section, select the appropriate content section access privileges for the role. If the role is not listed, in the Roles section, click Add. You can then search for and select the role in the Name list. Click Save and Close.
7. Regenerate data roles.

Tips And Considerations

The security policy and role-based access for the profile content is not applicable to the following features:

• Best-Fit
• Compare
• OTBI

Key Resources

For more information go to Application Help for the following topic:

• Regenerating HCM Data Roles: Procedure

Profiles Search Page Enhancements

HR specialists can now search for profiles by using the enhanced Search: Profiles page. They can perform the advanced profiles search capabilities on the page directly. The basic and keywords-specific profiles searches are no longer available on the search page.

You can expand the content data for a profile in the search results. The content data that is displayed for a profile is based on the content section access security settings for the HR specialist role. The person profiles search results display only those content sections for a person profile that your role have access to.

Search Person Profiles Page

 

Steps to Enable

There are no steps necessary to enable this feature.

Talent Review and Succession Management

Oracle Fusion Talent Review is an analytic product enabling your organization to review and evaluate data from the profile, performance, goals, and compensation management solutions. Using Oracle Fusion Succession Management, you can create succession plans to replace key personnel. Succession plans identify workers who are ready now or can develop the necessary skills, for jobs and positions that aren't currently vacant, ensuring, a smooth transition and help you to manage candidate development.

Consume Profiles Security

Security for ratings in Talent Review and Succession Management are enhanced to enable only designated roles to view and update only those ratings they are granted permission to do so by settings in Oracle Fusion Profile Management. Succession Management and talent pools honor content security defined in Profile Management for both the HR specialist and manager roles. Talent Review uses the new security features for the manager role. For example, if the manager role is not enabled to update or view a particular rating as defined for the content type in Profile Management, managers cannot update the rating in Talent Review and Succession Management.

To implement the security settings, an implementer uses the Manage Profile Content Section Access task to select the roles that can view and edit each content type.

Permission to View and Update Content Type Ratings is Configurable in Profile Management

The table shows the Succession Management and Talent Pools pages and the content types that are affected when you configure security access to content types for managers.

Page	Content Types Affected
Succession Plans Overview	Risk of Loss Impact of Loss Reason for Departure Estimated Remaining Months
Create or Edit Succession Plan: Enter Details	Risk of Loss Impact of Loss Reason for Departure Estimated Remaining Months
Create or Edit Succession Plan: Select Candidates	Risk of Loss Impact of Loss Willing to Relocate
Succession Planning tab in Person Spotlight:	Risk of Loss Impact of Loss Job Criticality
Create or Edit Talent Pool: Select Members	Risk of Loss Impact of Loss Willing to Relocate

In Talent Review, content type security by role is not enforced for HR specialist meeting facilitators on the dashboard, so they can view and update all ratings. However, for the meeting participants, security is enforced for the Prepare Review Content task and the participant view of the dashboard.

For the Prepare Review Content page, participant managers can view and rate only those content types they are allowed to view or edit. The table lists the features and content type behavior on the participant view of the dashboard.

Participant Dashboard Features	Content Type Behavior
Summary	Participants must have at least view access for ratings to see plotted worker markers. To move the markers, managers must have edit access.
Color Coding	For Risk of Loss, Impact of Loss and Mobility, participants can activate the color coding for workers whom they have view access.
Competencies Filtering	Participants can only view competencies for workers the participant can view.
Table View	All reviewees appear in the table view, but the following apply: no ratings appear if the participant does not have view access, read-only ratings appear if the participant has view but not edit access, and participants can rate reviewees if they have edit access.
Find	Workers do not appear in the list or search results for the selected view if the participant does not have view access.

Steps to Enable

To ensure that  the ratings in Talent Review and Succession Management can be viewed or updated only by users with certain designated roles, you need to enforce security for person profiles. For more information on how to do this, see Person Profile Security Enhancements under the Profile Management section of this Talent Management What's New for Update 17B.

Notes Component

Talent review notes now use the new Feedback feature that is used in Person Spotlight and the person smart navigation window. You continue to manage notes in Talent Review from the dashboard and the Manage Notes and Tasks page. With the updated Talent Review notes component managers and facilitators can enter notes about workers in the review population and control who can see the notes.

You configure the template to add Notes to the talent review meeting. When you create a note, you set the visibility to one of the following:

• Everyone - A public note visible to any person in the organization
• Managers Only - Managers in the hierarchy of the worker about whom the Feedback is created
• Managers and <Worker Name> - Managers in the hierarchy of the worker and the worker who receives the feedback
• Only Me - A private note created by a manager or worker about themselves or another person visible only to the author

NOTE: The HR specialist assigned to the worker can view all feedback except that with the Only Me visibility setting.

Talent Review Notes Appear in the Feedback Component

Only notes created within Talent Review appear there. However, all talent review notes appear as feedback in Person Spotlight and the person smart navigation window. Feedback that originates as a talent review note is designated as such in the Feedback dialog box.

Meeting facilitators and managers can create and view notes only for those people for whom they have security access, both in Talent Review notes and in the Feedback dialog box they access from Person Spotlight and the person smart navigation window. If a note is created in the talent review meeting by someone who has security access to a worker, you must also have security access to that worker to see that feedback note in the Feedback dialog box.

You can manage notes from the following pages:

• Manage Notes and Tasks
• Talent review dashboard (both the facilitator and participant views)
• In Person Spotlight that you can open from the dashboard

Because talent review notes now use the Feedback component, they no longer use the Note_Type or Note_Visiblity attributes. Notes now use the feedback visibility option.

Steps to Enable

There are no steps necessary to enable the feature.

Tips And Considerations

• Use the Configure Talent Review Dashboard Options task to configure the talent review template.
• For OTBI reports, because the Note_Type and Note_visiblity attributes are no longer needed and are set to null, you must remove these attributes as filter criteria to avoid an empty string appearing in the report.

Person Spotlight in Talent Review

You can open Person Spotlight from the talent review dashboard to view more details about workers. The former Show Details dialog is replaced with Person Spotlight in the dashboard.  You can select a worker and use the Show Details action to open Person Spotlight. Managers and meeting facilitators can view the employment, goals, performance, skills and qualifications, compensation, and more details about workers.

The Person Spotlight tabs that appear are those that you configure in the talent review template. Managers and facilitators can only view workers and details to which they have security access in Person Spotlight. You select the worker marker, and click Show Details to open Person Spotlight.

Tips And Considerations

• Use the Configure Talent Review Dashboard Options task to configure the talent review template to enable or disable the tabs in Person Spotlight.
• If the facilitator or manager who accesses Person Spotlight from a talent review meeting does not have security access to a tab, then they cannot view it regardless of the talent review template configuration.

Learning and Development

Learning Cloud

Oracle Learning Cloud enables you to make a transformational shift in learning delivery. Subject matter experts in your organization can easily publish videos and assemble tutorials to deliver on-demand and social learning. Collaboration features encourage continuous community feedback.

Offline Learning on Your Mobile Device

Accelerate your required learning using the Oracle HCM Cloud Mobile app, which provides the ability for the learner to complete and review learning items from the convenience of their mobile device. With offline support, learning items are downloaded and available offline. Learners can complete their learning at any time. When a device connects online again, it synchronizes the learning assignment progress and completion status with the server.

Contextual Learning

Customize the application pages by embedding learning items to enhance application workflows. The new resource catalog components enable you to present learning items that are relevant to the business workflow presented on the application page. The two contextual learning management resource catalog components include:

• Learning Showcase Component: Enables the display of one or more learning items in various presentation formats. The component can be configured with parameters so that it only displays learning items relevant to that particular application page.
• Learning Association Component: The administrator can associate learning items to an HCM business object or page context which can then be leveraged by the Learning Showcase Component.

Add Learning Association and Showcase Components

Steps to Enable

You must customize the page, add components and configure the components. See the example specified in the Talent Management Cloud Using Learning Guide (My Oracle Support Doc ID: 2189718.1) Adding and Configuring Learning Components to Job Roles: Worked Example

ROLE INFORMATION

Add the following Oracle Learning Cloud function security privilege to the custom Employee and Learning Specialist roles.

NOTE: You have no predefined job or abstract role with this privilege. You must add it to custom roles to use the function.

Performance Management

Oracle Fusion Performance Management supports features and functions for measuring and reporting worker performance.

Goal Management

Using Oracle Fusion Goal Management, you can transform business objectives into goals across various organization levels, providing a clear line of sight from managers to employees. Business leaders can communicate high-level initiatives, which managers can translate into goals for their employees.

Increased Size of Success Criteria and Comments Fields of the Goal Object

You can now enter up to two gigabytes (GB) of data in goal success criteria and comments fields with their data type now as Character Large OBjects (CLOB).

Steps to Enable

There are no steps necessary to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

The following limitations still exist in the administrative areas for the success criteria and comments fields:

• 32 kilobytes (KB) characters limitation for these fields when uploading goals using an application-generated spreadsheet on the Administer Goals page
• 32 KB characters limitation for these fields when uploading goals using existing HCM Data Loader scripts. To remove the limitation, you must update scripts to use the new CLOB-based fields
• 240 characters limitation for the extracted data specific to these fields when using the HCM Extracts feature
• No CLOB data type for these fields in the library goals

Application Context Passing to Embedded Reports

You can now enrich application pages with context-driven analytics. You can pass application-specific context variables, such as a selected worker, review period, or goal plan, to embedded Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) reports and generate highly relevant insights for managers and workers. Use the Resource Catalog to embed OTBI analyses and configure automatic parameter binding on the following application pages:

Populate Model Profile Competency Weights in Performance Documents

You can now take advantage of the weights and minimum weights defined for competencies in model profiles in performance documents. When performance documents are created and populated with competencies using a model profile or updated with new competencies in the model profile, the weight and minimum weight defined in the model profile are also populated in the performance document.

Define the Weight and Minimum Weight for a Competency in a Job Profile

Weight and Minimum Weight from the Job Profile Appear in the Performance Document

Steps to Enable

There are no steps necessary to enable the feature.  

Tips And Considerations

• The weight and minimum weight are only populated in the performance document when the competency is added to the performance document. Subsequent changes to the competency weight and minimum weight in the model profile do not update the weights for competencies that already exist in the performance document.
• Once the weights are in the performance document, the manager can edit the minimum weight, and both the manager and worker can edit the weight.
• To update model profiles, use the Manage Model Profiles task.
